Capturing heirloom portraits is always a special experience, but it becomes even more meaningful when working with families who have been long-time clients. James Henry’s recent session was a perfect example of why I love creating these timeless portraits. With his bright personality and playful energy, we had a wonderful time documenting this season of his childhood at 2 years old!
As a Greenville, SC heirloom portrait specialist, I’ve had the joy of photographing countless children over the past nine years. Every session is unique, but Margaret’s recent session was a special and fun one. At just 18 months old, Margaret was the picture of happiness—relaxed, content, and full of sweet personality.
As a Greenville, SC-based heirloom portrait specialist, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless milestones for families.

Maren & Coast are a part of my First Year Collective membership. This membership includes 3 milestone sessions.

Sweet Charlie came to see me in my Greenville, SC studio all the way from the South Carolina coast! I’m always honored when families go to great lengths to come for their portrait session. I take so much pride in doing really high quality work, and to me, this shows me that my clients really value and can SEE how much joy and love and perfection I put into my work.
